It seems to me that this allows Myspace to identify owned content but does very little in terms of monetizing that content. How often -- really -- have you watched something on Youtube and said "Geez, I'd like to buy that!" All this appear

Really? Half of your social graph on facebook voted for Bush? I am guessing that isn't accurate. It is the case that half of all Americans voted for Bush twice. But I think that makes the point: what the original post is suggesting is t

Not really. Google's telling you pretty much exactly how to do it yourself. They appear more interested in improving the standard for everyone.

From what I can tell, the goal is to make the experience easier on the user by doing the email domain to URL transparent. The reality is that users don't know URLs as identification mechanisms. They do know email addresses.

Bummer. Not a YCombinator company, but in a startup and attempting to contribute to this community. Hey Joel, any chance of a HN-karma-based lifting of the 2-person limit? Say >1000 Karma and you can use more people?

"The mission is expected to cost 3.8bn rupees (£45m; $78m)." Wow. That's amazingly cheap!

from Anton Ego: "In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. B

This is amazing. I'd pay money for it. POV really allow some interesting effects with very few light sources.

I'm afraid I lost part of the thread. Was the final solution to move to a new machine? Is that what this means? By eliminating all the variables of the current machine, the question answered itself, without days of debugging.

Bruce, I spent all of my years in the (Canadian) public education system. The trick is to be supportive, as my parents were, of not letting the school get in the way of what the kids want to do. My kid is on his way to a mastodon tusk excav

Bad crippleware definitely works that way. Good crippleware lets you try everything.

I stopped reading after: "a man can't know what it is to be a mother" That's true at a precise level. But more valuable is: "a man can know what it is to be a parent" and I think that's a much more valuable statement. I pretty much recall

If there is a foothold for freemium, it’s the corporate market where customers are willing to pay for high-quality services as well as customer support. This is why companies such as 37Signals and Freshbooks have thrived because enough cus

You're joking, right? Google uses its own products. They live in GMail and Calendar.

Might I suggest that you consider taking part in a class dominated by women? Perhaps something discussing the proto-feminist leanings of Woolf? I'm not kidding. I think you'll find that you're lonely. That you gravitate towards talking to

I stand by my statement. <fb:serverfbml> came out 30 days ago. That's about six months after you could do extended permissions stuff in fbml. In my book, that's a second class citizen. The resizing code for iFrames is broken. I

You've got to be joking. There are so many things that don't work well or at all in iframes: - extended permissions - resizing so you don't have scrollbars - inconsistent behavior in fb-sig params - cookie handling issues that are common to

I've found this discussion regarding Moore's law even more insightful: http://tinyurl.com/4gke7c in that it talks about the differing formulations of the law over the years.

Wow, this really is awful. Half my team is women. They're also both parents, brilliant, brutally honest, and a joy to work with. I've "found" that if you treat women -- like all humans -- with respect and loyalty you're pretty much done. B

I've heard this argument a lot and it seems like a solvable problem: Put the money in a 5 years escrowed account. If the changes that you made were sound and the company continues to succeed, you get it. Otherwise, you forfeit.
